<configuration>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="SqlServices" connectionString="Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;" />
  </connectionStrings>

  <system.web>
    <authentication mode="Forms" >
      <forms loginUrl="login.aspx"
             name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH" />
    </authentication>

    <authorization>
      <deny users="?" />
    </authorization>

    <membership defaultProvider="SqlProvider"
                userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add
          name="SqlProvider"
          type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"
          connectionStringName="SqlServices"
          enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
          enablePasswordReset="true"
          requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
          requiresUniqueEmail="false"
          passwordFormat="Hashed"
          applicationName="MyApplication" />
      </providers>
    </membership>

    <profile enabled="true" defaultProvider="SqlProvider">
      <providers>
        <add
          name="SqlProvider"
          connectionStringName="SqlServices"
          applicationName="MyApplication"
          type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider" />
      </providers>

      <properties>
        <add name="ZipCode" />
        <group name="Address">
          <add name="Street" />
          <add name="City" />
          <add name="State" />
          <add name="CountryOrRegion" />
        </group>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

The following ASP.NET page reads and sets the grouped properties specified for the user profile.

Important

This example contains a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

Remarks

ASP.NET uses the ProfileGroupBase class to create grouped properties in the Profile property for the current HttpContext. When properties are specified as a group of properties using the group Element for properties for profile (ASP.NET Settings Schema) element, ASP.NET creates a new class with strongly typed accessors for each property in the group. The new class inherits the ProfileGroupBase base class.

This class is not intended to be created from your code.
